It's not that hard to start loving yourself. It is much more difficult to learn self-esteem. This will allow you to always stay afloat and find strength in any, even the most difficult situations. It remains only to figure out how to start respecting yourself.
Always keep your promises. Otherwise, you can forget about self-respect forever. Conscience always remembers our mistakes and will not let us forget them so easily. It is impossible to respect yourself if you let other people down. What authority can a deceiver have? Far from being the tallest.
Think back to all the promises you have ever made, write them down on a piece of paper and try to fulfill them as quickly as possible. If for objective reasons this cannot be done, then try at least just to apologize to the person.
Reach your goals. This will not only allow you to start respecting yourself, but will also develop your self-confidence, willpower and increase your level of motivation. For starters, you can set simple goals, the achievement of which does not cause any particular difficulties. But then the complexity should grow, and with it your self-esteem. Try to set a challenging goal with a very limited time frame. Having coped with it, you will receive an unprecedented charge of energy and self-satisfaction.
Assess yourself objectively. Perhaps the reason for your low self-respect is because you are being too biased about yourself. Try to describe yourself without prejudice. You will find that there are enough aspects of your character that are worthy of respect.
